Itinerary

Petra was abandoned over two thousand years ago by the Nabateans. It is said that there was an earthquake, and most of the city could not be repaired, so it was abandoned. Many cultures have been a part of Petra, including the Byzantines, the Bedouins, the Syrians, the Romans, and the Nabateans. The Nabateans prospered from their construction of water cisterns, and even when the Romans took over pretty much left the Nabateans to continue their work. There is much to view in Petra including the tombs, facades, temples, mourning houses, crypts, and a Roman theater.
